Chapter 79 Christmas Tree in the Ocean
into the night.
Everyone picked a lot of goose and goose fungus, and everyone returned with a full load.
Xiang Yang's harvest is also pretty good, all the anse and goose mushrooms in a small net bag are the size of a drink bottle cap.
Everyone is tired from playing today.
Xiang Yang turned on the searchlights on the ship early, leaving two crew members on duty on the deck, and drove the rest of the crew back to the cabin to rest.
Xiang Yang himself quietly touched the stern of the boat, and slipped into the sea along the boat ladder.
Almost all the small yellow croakers on the boat were lying in the freezer. The small yellow croakers were worthless after being frozen for a long time. Xiang Yang planned to drag one or two nets at most tomorrow, and the fishing boat had to return.
Xiang Yang still has some things to do before the fishing boat returns.
The first thing Xiang Yang has to do is to determine the fishing boat's route tomorrow.
The vast majority of fishing boats do not have a fixed route when they go out to sea to fish. They can catch wherever they go. If they are lucky, they may not catch anything on the entire route. If they catch several times in a row All fishing boats with empty nets will definitely lose money on fuel.
Of course, Xiang Yang does not allow his fishing boat to lose money on fuel.
After getting into the sea, Xiang Yang first swam towards the south.
Xiang Yang swims at an extremely fast speed, and the scenery along the way when swimming on the bottom of the sea is like sitting on a high-speed rail and looking out. It’s just that the scenery on the bottom of the sea is very different from that on land. Swarms, ferocious marine predators, giant seaweeds like tall buildings, and rolling seabed forests all passed Xiang Yang's eyes one by one.
Huh? Xiang Yang, who had been swimming for a long distance without any change in his expression, suddenly hummed, with a surprised expression on his face.
During this journey, Xiang Yang encountered many fish schools, but each fish school was not a valuable fish school, but belonged to the very common type of sea fish, and it was not worth Xiang Yang’s special choice of routes for fishing boats to catch. .
Disappointed, Xiang Yang was even ready to turn back and change direction to continue searching for fish, but unexpectedly he found something good.
What caught Xiang Yang's eyes was a seabed mountain covered with coral reefs.
There are jagged rocks on the peak, and sand, pebbles and coral reefs can be seen everywhere.
There are many very beautiful golden tropical sea fish walking among the coral reefs and strange rocks.
There is also a strange little fish that looks like a swordfish, has a long mouth like a swordfish, and has a crescent-like tail but a whole huge fin on its back. It is preying on beautiful golden sea fish.
Xiang Yang didn't pay attention to these sea fish at all.
Christmas tree worm! Xiang Yang stared excitedly at a sea creature whose body was spiraled like a Christmas tree.
Christmas tree worms are very small, with an average span of only three or four centimeters, but they are known as one of the top ten most beautiful marine creatures, and they are very beautiful ornamental marine creatures.
Christmas tree worms have no swimming limbs, and can't even swim out of the tubes they live in, but they can be found in almost all tropical oceans.
The spiral structure is actually the respiratory system of the Christmas tree worm, and its respiratory system is not only extremely hairy, but also very beautiful.
Xiang Yang carefully searched this sea area, searching for this Christmas tree worm, which is known as one of the ten most beautiful marine creatures.
Soon Xiang Yang found a lot of Christmas tree worms nearby. They were very colorful, including yellow, orange, blue, red, pink and white. Different colors gathered together made them look more beautiful.
Xiang Yang grabbed a blood-red Christmas tree worm that looked like a miniature Christmas tree.
Feeling Xiang Yang's touch, the Christmas tree worm went back into its hole in an instant.
Xiang Yang suddenly laughed, almost forgetting that Christmas tree worms are very sensitive sea creatures, and will quickly retract into their caves even if they encounter the slightest contact or disturbance.
It usually takes a minute or two for Christmas tree worms to slowly re-emerge after retreating into their burrows, before re-stretching their beautifully feathered spiral breathing systems in the seawater.
This habit of the Christmas tree worm may seem similar to the mimosa, but it is actually not at all.
Mimosa foliage closes up when touched, but the mimosa is a plant and the Christmas tree worm is not.
Don't be fooled by the beautiful appearance of Christmas tree worms. In fact, Christmas tree worms are predatory worms whose main food is various small floating sea creatures.
Christmas tree worms are extremely difficult to catch.
Because the vast majority of them like to live on the edge of the fine pores on the surface of coral reefs, they will immediately retract into the hole when they encounter danger, and the speed of retracting into the hole is even beyond human imagination, even more sensitive than the most sensitive cat .
There is almost only one way for Xiang Yang to catch this Christmas tree worm, and that is to use a tool to pry open the small hole in the coral reef, and then take the Christmas tree worm out of the small hole.
As for approaching quietly, grabbing him while he is not paying attention? If people like Ye Wen and Chen Zhen could do it on land, it wouldn't work even if the gods came in the water.
Fortunately, there are a lot of tools on board, including knives, hammers, and mallets. Xiang Yang touched his chin and began to think about the plan to bring his crew to catch Christmas tree worms tomorrow.
At present, there are almost no Christmas tree worms on the market, whether it is in the aquatic product market or the ornamental fish market. This kind of little guy is extremely difficult to catch under the sea. It is impossible to touch them at the bottom of the sea with normal human speed, let alone catch them. , so it is hard for Xiang Yang to say how much each Christmas tree worm is worth.
However, the Christmas tree worm has a beautiful appearance, and Xiang Yang is not worried that it cannot be sold in the ornamental fish market.
It is worth mentioning that Christmas tree worms are always in pairs. The two Christmas tree worms in pairs are actually the two respiratory organs of the same Christmas tree worm, not two loving Christmas tree worms.
Xiang Yang stayed in place and waited for a minute or two, the pink Christmas tree worm finally got out of the small hole in the coral, and slowly stretched the top of the crown.
Xiang Yang stretched out his hand carefully again, like a child carefully grabbing a dragonfly or a butterfly, trying to see if he could quietly catch the red Christmas tree worm.
As a result, Xiang Yang still underestimated the sensitivity of the Christmas tree worm. Xiang Yang's hand hadn't dropped yet, and even the shadow hadn't even approached. The Christmas tree worm retracted into the small hole as soon as it felt a little ripple in the water.
There is no other way. Xiang Yang sighed helplessly, remembered the location of this sea area, and thought about the specific steps for leading the crew to catch Christmas tree worms after sailing to this sea area tomorrow.
